Used 2000 Mercury Cougar Consumer Reviews
I hate this car
I've had this car almost 3 years and have just put in it's 5th alternator. I've also had two other separate electrical services. The radio has been replaced twice and the hatch release has been repaired twice and still doesn;t work. I am so sorry I bought this car. It looks pretty, but that's about it.

Been good to me
I bought the car new, it was cute and got great gas mileage. I have the 5 speed transmission. Everything held up great. I took good care of my care and can recommend it as a used vehicle if you are looking for good gas mileage and nice sound system. I didn't have any of the negative experiences mentioned by other owners. The tires went to 78K original, the tire tools clunk around, but you can fix that. Great sound system. Not a speed demon, but got me to where I wanted to go and didn't cost me much after the purchase price.
I Love My Cougar!
I love this car! I was a little disappointed with the engine, I figured a car that sporty looking would have an equally sporty engine. I've heard that the Cougar has acceleration problems. I guarantee you that everyone who says that drives an automatic. I have the I4 engine and I have never had problem accelerating. Get the manual! But this car is unique, and you don't see too many of them out there, making me just that much prouder of my car!
I love it!
I wanted a cougar for years before I actually bought one. I'm not at all disappointed. She could handle a bit better in the snow, but overall, I love her!
